Hi All,

My Indian Passport expires in May 2012.

I am thinking to apply by post to HCI Birmingham in this week.

My current passport has my UK visa which run out in April 2012.

So as soon as I get my new passport I will apply for my new visa from uk homeoffice.

Question that bothers me is - Will I get my old passport back that shows my visa till April 2012.

If no, then how will I prove to UK homeoffice that I have a valid visa until april 2012, in my application to get a new visa.

has anyone been in this situation? could you please reply.

Your cancelled Indian PP with valid UK visa will be returned to you with a new Indian PP. Carry the old one along when you travel outside the UK.
